Mode.--Rub the beef well with the treacle, and let it remain for 3 days, turning and rubbing it often; then wipe it, pound the salt and saltpetre very fine, rub these well in, and turn it every day for 10 days. Roll it up tightly in a coarse cloth, and press it under a large weight; have it smoked, and turn it upside down every day. Boil it, and, on taking it out of the pot, put a heavy weight on it to press it.

Time.--17 days.

About

I decided to start this blog after browsing Project Gutenberg's collection of cookery books. I have always been a fan of older recipes (my favourite cookbook being one from the 1960s), although these are a little older! I thought that putting the recipes in a blog format would be more appealing than in their text forms, but I am greatly indebted to, and encourage all to go to, gutenberg.org and download the books in their original form.
